The Kodak v705 has been out for awhile and much discussed here at Active Rain. It seems to be a good choice for real estate agents. Mind you, I am a total novice when it comes to photography and need something that is simple to use and light to pack and go. I was able to find one online last week for less than $200 but they just raised their price by $30. Wonder if Kodak will continue developing their dual lens series and offer a new model in the future.
I've seen this type of example done before in the group and thought it would be interesting to do a comparison with my old camera. When I get a new toy, it's fun to play around and figure out how things work.
Camera Comparison:
Left-Kodak v705
Right - Sony Cybershot DSC-P10
Wide Angle
As expected, the Kodak did well with this scene even though it was foggy this morning. I forgot to change to the landscape mode. I'm sure it won't be the last time.

The Kodak didn't fair well and I really didn't expect it to. Based on everything that I had read about it, there isn't much flash fill. The color didn't look very true either.

Conclusion - Nothing's perfect. The Kodak will be great for MLS photos and virtual tours which is why I bought it. The Sony will be used more for personal use. It was always an ok camera. Now, on the other hand, my son in law has a Canon EOS 30D that takes amazing professional looking photos. He's a godsend at family functions.
The manual that came with the kodak is very basic. Mike Stankewich posted a wonderful set of tutorials and I'm looking forward to learning everything I can. I was so sorry to hear of his passing.
Cheers,
